So, with Skye Child coming to an end, I’m working on something for after, a new story, The Mystery of Oak Island. The story will also be written as a play-script, which is a bit different from what I would normally do. Here is a short excerpt from the story: (most of the stage directions are left out)

The Mystery of Oak Island

Narrator: “Oak Island, a truly fascinating place. The tiny island, home to an era’s worth of mystery. What enigmas enshroud this tiny landscape, home to the legendary money pit? Many people have many theories, and many theories lead to many possibilities. Let me have the privilege of sharing with you a legend.”

Introduces a small group of people, on a boat.

Narrator: “Long ago it happened. One day, a group of men, wearing strange masks, and strange cloths arrived. Carrying a load of heavy enigmatic items upon their backs. They wandered about through the island until they finally stopped, and set their bags and the coffin down. At their feet stood a great oak tree.”

Narrator: “It was here they decided to dig what would later become the famous money pit that was to intrigue and infuriate countless travelers throughout history.”
